Cheers to the creative team at Glidden

Whoever thinks of names for the colors on the paint chips is a genius. I'm debating between Swan White or Marshmallow White for the ceilings. I'm leaning towards Swan White. Mom said that Marshmallow White is to white. Making a another trip to Home Depot this fine Sunday evening... I let you know the final decision.

Project 2: I am starting an herb garden tonight... Thyme, basil, cellantro, sage, and rosemary. HOLLLLAAA!!!!

Painting begins...

Howdy. Tomorrow is a big day for me, I'm going to Home Depot to pick out paint chips. It is almost like tomorrow is Christmas.. I can barely sleep because of all the excitement. I can't decide what I should wear, its between butch, coveralls outfits or feminine dress, please help me mister. I'm leaning towards coveralls... when in Rome mentality for shore.

Here are things I'm going to get: 1. Home Depot painters how to book 2. a full on painters suit. Complete with the white hazmat suit and white painters hat, I am super excited to say the least 3. paint chips. This is really the least of my worries, I'm planning on taking ever sample paint chip and putting them in my huge purse like a clepto. I love free things. 5. Painting supplies, which is hard for me to tell you what those things are right now, because I know nothing until I read my how to book. 6. many awkward stares while I'm pretending to take a shit in the fake toilets.

My parents have been a little reluctant to let me start this endeavor. I keep asking my mom, Paula, "so how we gunna do this thing" and she really hesitatingly says "welllll..... we neeed to talk to your father and discuss exactly what we are doing..." The bitch is putting me off. Have no fear, I usually nag them until I get what I want. I know that sounds like a total brat, but fuck, I learn from my mom. I don't blame my parents for being, lets say, extra cautious. Refer to the pictures of my last painting project.





And that folks is how the cookie crumbles.

So tomorrow my adventure starts.... Stay with me people...

trying all trades and will hopefully become a master of one

Hi! I'm Julia. I'm unemployed, and I have no skills. I (almost) graduated college a year ago. I worked in debt collections for five months, after three years at a smoothie joint and now I am jobless with no experience at anything credible. Sure, the job market is tough, but I just don't have skills that will take me anywhere. I wasn't a great debt collector (actually the worst in the office, it said so on the daily flow charts), I could make a decent smoothie, but it would have been years before I could get promoted to assistant manager.

So here I am, back at home living with my parents, jobless. Not a desirable situation to say the least. I've applied for a few jobs. Many rejection letters later, my parents said I could help them out around the house. What a great opportunity to try a bunch of different things! This summer I'm going to pick up random jobs and learn how to do them.

The the first job I'm going to try out is painting. Years ago my sister and I wanted to paint our rooms. My parents, lets us do it on ourselves. Which is retrospect was probably one of their biggest parenting mistakes. The rooms are UGLY. So I will start tomorrow prepping, and you will soon be on a journey of random jobs with me.

I must go take my third nap for day. Peace.

Hulia.
